Camper Van & RV Rental in Karlsruhe-Ettlingen

Karlsruhe-Ettlingen is a great city for exploring by camper van, with two designated RV parking lots in the city itself. The Maxau marina parking lot offers around 15 spaces for campervans, while there are two double parking spots reserved for RVs at the residential lane on Ettlinger Allee (numbers 5 to 8).
You can also park overnight at the Durlach campsite, and from there, you can reach the city quickly either on foot or by public transport.
You can also park your RV in public areas as long as your vehicle doesn’t block or obstruct the flow of traffic or the sidewalk. There is generally no time restriction on these spaces unless specifically stated.

Karlsruhe-Ettlingen is a city with something to offer no matter what time of year you visit. In the summer months, you can make the most of the long days and warmer weather, whether you’re exploring the city or heading to the Black Forest on an outdoor adventure.
There are also multiple festivals and events sprinkled throughout the summer months, from the ‘Festival of the Senses’ in May, where you can sample regional delicacies, to ‘Festival by the Lake’ (Fest am See) in July, a celebration of music and food. But if you’re planning to visit in August or September, the spectacular castle light show (the Schlosslichtspiele) is not to be missed.
With colder weather, the city transforms into a winter wonderland with an enchanting Christmas market held from the end of November, while snowsports enthusiasts can get their fill of powder at nearby ski resorts.
